Open Letter to Com. Prakash Karat to dissuade the government led by his party from proceeding with the nuclear power plants in Kerala | K. Sahadevan

Com. Prakash Karat, where are you? The people of Cheemeni (Kerala) are waiting for you.

Dear Com. Prakash Karat,

I trust you are aware that the government, led by your party, is in talks to construct two nuclear power plants in the Cheemeni area of Kerala’s Kasaragod district, each with a 220 MW generating capacity.

As an anti-nuclear activist who supported you and Com. Sitaram Yechury, the backers of the movement against the Jaitapur nuclear power plant project in the Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, approximately ten and a half years ago, I am asking you to step in and influence a government’s administrative decision.

I’m not sure whether you recall the news conference that took place in Mumbai on July 13, 2011. Whether you look through the national media at the time, you will see your remark published with significant prominence.
